Monkey01, you have the best avatar I have ever seen. Simply priceless.

"To each, his own". Any new info is good IMO.

I think we should target hotels that have families vacationing there. And we should make a concerted effort to come back drunk with a couple of "helpers"(respecting the rules) every night. I don't have a problem with couples coming to Pattaya, just as long as they understand where they are vacationing. I don't want Joe Accountant and his wife Gertrude ruining the place my father helped create so thousands of fed up guys could have a place to go to feel like a king every once in a while. These people should be going some where else. (Nothing against accountants, just making a point)

Even when I see a young slender white woman, I know it's just a matter of time before she packs it on. I guess I have been ruined for them.

Damn it. I used to fly from Hawaii on United when I lived there and racked up a lot of miles. But now I live in Florida and Delta is the only way over to LOS with a decent miles program. So I cant take advantage of it. :crying

Hey MetalDog, I stayed at the QueenVic in July for 3 weeks and had a great time. Bert the manager will promptly take care of any problems we "Yanks" have. Had a "Penthouse Flat" on the top floor. You can read my review in the review section. Very very girl friendly as i was quite the butterfly this last time. Penthouse is very roomy and has a balcony to watch the soi six action. Don't BF those girls, or at least until the end of your trip though. If you email him, it might take a few days for him to reply. PM me if you have any other questions. -Mac

Agree with all thats said here. Stayed in July, you can read my review in the review section. You can go in the front and the back until the bar closes, and then its just the back. They do have a security guard out back after closing, and he might id your TG. All in all a great place to stay. Careful about taking a girl from soi 6 though, for obvious reasons.

Got it. Thanks.

I read on another site that the minibuses will start next month (Jan). Also that they will be color coded. Just looking to substantiate this. Any info?

If you like the P&W, then you will like the Queen Vic as well. 550 for a standard, 650 for a flat (suite). It's also on sleazy soi 6. I have a review posted in the review section.

It's too bad Gilligans is closed. Elvis would have the games on in there. The Pats are gonna repeat this year. GO PATS.

I have also stayed in one of the QV's flats on Soi 6 (posted a review), and I really enjoyed it. I stayed there in July while they were building The Lord Nelson. From what Bert (QV manager) and Vic (owner) was telling me, it would be like the QV, but with a maritime theme. Also, I don't think they have a restaurant there, but the QV is literally seconds down the street. Also, soi 6 is fun to watch from your balcony, and they both have back alley entrances if you want to avoid attention. Easy to hop on a baht bus and go down to Walking Street, Soi 7&8, or Pattayaland. Good location.

Roger that Chief. Wil comply. -AT1

I'll be in Pattaya for 3 weeks this month. Would like to get a 4some(golf) sometime if anyone is interested. BTW, I am a hacker, but enjoy the game. Would like to spend an afternoon with some fellow BM. -Mac P.S. I'll bring the stogies!

That's a good question on the book or walk up thing. I left my last 5 days open on my time to try out the walk up angle. I think one advantage would be to see the room before taking it.

Sounds good Doug. I'll take you up on that, and return the favor. I'll be in PTTY from June 23 through July 14. Although I only have a room at the QV until the 8th. I haven't booked a hotel for the last week I am there yet. I might try the Sandy Springs or RG as I have seen a lot of good reports on this board. See you in the bar, -Mac

Thanks for the info fellas. BR, I'm looking forward to your report. -Squid

Hello All. Looking for tips or any bits of info on the Queen Vic. I have previously stayed at the Hard Rock (government paid), the Royal Garden (before the Marriot bought it), and the LEK, on previous trips. I booked a suite through Bert, and I have read nothing but good things about the QV. I will be there from mid June through mid July. Also staying at the Royal Asia Lodge in BKK for 5 days before heading to PTYA. Any comments on either would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info fellas. 2 months and painfully counting.

Just want to chill. Can you spend the night on the very nearby islands?

Have been to Pattaya many times over the last three years. I will be there at the end of June for just under a month. I would like to check out one of the nearby islands. I would appreciate some inputs from any of you guys that have been to them. Thanx, -Squid.
